So Mirdif City Centre opened last week and no one will shut up about it. There are a bunch of restaurants and shops new to Dubai including: American Eagle, Pottery Barn/Pottery Barn Kids (and I thought that place cost a fortune in the U.S.--it's double that here!), Crate & Barrel (second shop), Pinkberry (second shop), Office Depot (this one was somewhat exciting), P.F. Chang's (restaurant, also mildly exciting), etc. (Complete list of shops here.) Why they decide to build a humongous shopping mall in the middle of what I consider B.F.E. (look it up) still puzzles me.
The Mall of the Emirates has Ski Dubai, Dubai Mall has the ice rink and the aquarium...so Mirdif City Centre has--get this--INDOOR SKYDIVING. No joke. Unfortunately, I won't be doing any indoor skydiving for at least 6-7 more months, but...wow. Check this out for the details.
We kind of did a little reconnaissance snoop around there last weekend but to be honest, malls really aren't doing it for me lately! I think it'll be worth going to P.F. Chang's once and maybe splurging on some Pottery Barn at some point, but otherwise nothing so amazing that I HAVE to go there.
But if you want to come visit and go skydiving, I'll come cheer you on and take photos.
